I've been obsessed with watercolours for quite a while now and its by far one of my favourite forms of art.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I always start of by doing a rough sketch on a piece of scrap paper to make sure that I can actually draw whats in my head... if that makes sense.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/--LRoKe1CaZM/WMiFAZ9KvFI/AAAAAAAAA5w/Lgb3IUJ1uXEaeL4R-r1imJdfcDFBIG6NQCLcB/s1600/IMG_0757.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="305" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/--LRoKe1CaZM/WMiFAZ9KvFI/AAAAAAAAA5w/Lgb3IUJ1uXEaeL4R-r1imJdfcDFBIG6NQCLcB/s400/IMG_0757.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now I normally go from the centre out, but honestly anything will work.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dnVPj3tDXWI/WMiFB64lBKI/AAAAAAAAA6A/JUr7yXrm8S49tOsXZ-1g47Diswp6r5nqwCEw/s1600/IMG_0762.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="301" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dnVPj3tDXWI/WMiFB64lBKI/AAAAAAAAA6A/JUr7yXrm8S49tOsXZ-1g47Diswp6r5nqwCEw/s400/IMG_0762.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Because I have the worlds most shaky hands ever to exist I go for the messy look to make it look like I meant to do paint it like that.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TdS-1UhW1RU/WMiFD4qD0II/AAAAAAAAA6A/Ni_WlhM9ICcWFHfFMJXJIzK4epFt29G5QCEw/s1600/IMG_0765.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="291" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TdS-1UhW1RU/WMiFD4qD0II/AAAAAAAAA6A/Ni_WlhM9ICcWFHfFMJXJIzK4epFt29G5QCEw/s400/IMG_0765.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now if you are wise you will let it dry before you do the leaves... if you are impatient like me you'll go ahead and have weirdly coloured leaves. And thats okay! Watercolour can be a mess if you want it to :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aM1ZAMn3Iok/WMiFGB961GI/AAAAAAAAA6A/p89QBKyRCFoTXqixFS31pjFuXkgeqRzRACEw/s1600/IMG_0768.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="285" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aM1ZAMn3Iok/WMiFGB961GI/AAAAAAAAA6A/p89QBKyRCFoTXqixFS31pjFuXkgeqRzRACEw/s400/IMG_0768.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And now its up to you what you want to do with your painting/drawing/colouring/whatisthis. Frame it, turn it into a card, stick it in your journal, just whatever works for you.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I hope this has somewhat inspired you to do something creative whether it be watercolours, drawing &nbsp;or collecting gravel (I won't judge if thats what you like to do) and have wonderful day.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Han x</div>Hanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05370239063029996008noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715809726193354962.post-38382392187488105932017-03-14T16:53:00.000-07:002017-03-14T19:50:44.849-07:00Book Talk: The Young Elites<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(68, 68, 68); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; text-align: center;">In this post&nbsp;</span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(68, 68, 68); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; text-align: center;">we will be looking at a brief spoiler free book review of the Young Elites By Marie Lu.</span></span><br /><div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(68, 68, 68); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; line-height: normal; min-height: 12px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></div><div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(68, 68, 68); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Adelina Amouteru is a survivor of the blood fever, which has left her with markings.

In saying that I still really enjoyed the storyline and plot twists and I am highly anticipating the next book.</span></span></div><div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(68, 68, 68); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1qQ6sgjJuKE/WMcmcrCUFVI/AAAAAAAAA5c/OzEZrvXQi5wuXJJ7kEBRz449AdrryZ0CgCLcB/s1600/youngelites.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1qQ6sgjJuKE/WMcmcrCUFVI/AAAAAAAAA5c/OzEZrvXQi5wuXJJ7kEBRz449AdrryZ0CgCLcB/s400/youngelites.jpg" width="263" /></a></div><div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(68, 68, 68); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-kerning: none;"><br /></span></div>Hanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05370239063029996008noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715809726193354962.post-43446160420963046452017-03-13T15:37:00.000-07:002017-03-14T16:51:48.973-07:00A New HobbyFor quite a while I have been meaning to pick up my mum's camera and practice photography...
